Lavinia Fontana (1552-1614) was an extraordinary painter. In my view, better than the famous male painters of the time. At the exhibition the other day I was awestruck by how she painted fabrics and accessories. Go see, please.

Studios denying writers their worth is really strange. Like refusing to pay for the bottom half of a ladder. #WritersGuildStrike

Despite their similarity, the words PEN and PENCIL are unrelated. PEN comes from ‘penna’, a Latin word for a quill (and the same root as penne pasta), while PENCIL comes from ‘peniculus’, a Latin word for an artist’s paintbrush (and an etymological cousin of the word penis).
